Bummer...
If this is all down to bug(s) in Sun's VM, what is the current state of portability to Kaffe or GCJ? Do they have all the required features implemented to run Freenet? At least these kinds of problems could be debugged more easily...
They have issues with NIO, mostly. Builds 598 and earlier run fine under Kaffe. GCJ, I'm not sure.
I think NIO and networking / threading performance is core to Suns business and future plans (ie pushing J2EE into the big iron web enterprise market) and if we can hand them the bug on a plate they will probably fix it.
I also think it's reasonable for them to ask the Freenet developers to sift through the Freenet code and find what's causing the bug -- they're not familiar w/ our code. It may well be that we're right that it's a JVM code and that it's caused by a fairly standard use of the NIO code in the JVM -- but I'm sure dozens of people every day think they've got a JVM bug and try to foist the work off on Sun.
Finally, has anyone ever searched http://forum.java.sun.com/ for any of the problems we're seeing? Those forums are pretty active.
